    Oh right I forgot all about snaps. Yeah I haven’t used it as a dedicated desktop since probably 2006. It’s generally all server usage in the cloud for me these days, which basically means everything is disposable and I couldn’t care less about the full OS in general. I really do need to get back on Linux for personal use though. I don’t really care for running VMs on windows for my self hosted stuff.

      Why would anyone use Ubuntu on a server? Ubuntu is basically Debian unstable + non-free drivers that they tried to get sorta stable in 6 months. That may be ok on a desktop where you can accept some bugs in exchange for newer versions of the software. But why would you not run Debian stable on a server instead?

      Maybe 10 years ago when Debian stable got really out-of-date, but that hasn’t been true in a looong time. Debian releases much more frequently, much stabler, it has all the goid stuff from Ubuntu backported but none if the bad stuff.

        That depends on what the sever runs. For my NAS, sure, Debian is fine. But I don’t expect it to run anything that bleeding edge, and if I do there are often containers.

        However, two years ago I tried to bring up a new headless NUC as a Plex server with Debian (because that’s what I’ve been using for the last 20 years) but had to give it up because of all the hoops you have (had?) to jump through to get it working with Quicksync in Debian. With Ubuntu it just worked.

      Since I reinstall Windows (trying different versions just because) as often as I distro hop I just started using different distros in WSL. Let’s me distro hop in both OSes as I want and at the same time without any kind of dual booting problems.
